Abstract
It is within or near a fishery harbour that the many different handling and processing activities take place and also to where many service and auxiliary industries are attracted. Many have considered the position of a fisheries harbour within National Fisheries Planning but, if literature is anything to go by, little attention has been given to adequate planning within the harbour. Unfortunately space does not permit a review of operational management principles and techniques to all aspects within a fishery harbour and with this in mind, emphasis will be placed on the definition of ‘capacity’ of the landing quay - a critical area for the overall operations of a harbour. This paper aims to demonstrate how a non-mathematical manager or planner can define and evaluate the maximum operational capacity of a fishery harbour when providing a 24 hour service and also offers advice for a “planned approach” to this problem.
